Panorama
Definition
Composite wide-field presentation requiring checks for projection and stitching artefacts. Panoramas combine views into a wide-field presentation, while stereoscopy uses differing views to support depth perception. Both depend on capture geometry and processing.
- Context
- Image presentation
For example, stitching can introduce a discontinuity near a moving object, so a wide composite needs checks before spatial relationships are interpreted.
A composite or perceived depth is not automatically a metrically accurate surface map.
